In this case, it could be reasonably argued that the CSS/X11 definition of “coral” is just as wrong, and a quick image search provides all the proof we need. ;)

This site is an image search query tool, not a CSS color reference. We knew that before querying. It would be reasonable, and a great idea even, to return multiple results, and include the CSS color if the query matches that name. But maybe I really do want to query for pictures of coral and not the CSS color names. The CSS “coral” was someone’s arbitrary choice, and not the only right answer. Don’t make the mistake of assuming that CSS color names should be considered the authority on color names- to the exclusion of any other use of the word - outside of HTML or X11 contexts, or even within those contexts.

Part of the challenge is that saying "coral" is like saying "rainbow" in that app... which also gives you a brown color. There are coral colored corals, there are green, blue... but its more in the pinks and reds than other colors. https://www.ba-bamail.com/content.aspx?emailid=7375 https://www.ba-bamail.com/content.aspx?emailid=7375 The color https://alexbeals.com/projects/colorize/search.php?q=coral https://alexbeals.com/projects/colorize/search.php?q=coral is most likely the color of the environment that the coral is in rather than the color of the coral itself. Unless its based on https://www.pnas.org/content/117/5/2232 https://www.pnas.org/content/117/5/2232 and similar images... in which case, that's rather depressing.
